Professional Landlord Planning

Do you have a property portfolio with four or more properties?


If so, you can:


  • Lower the 40% Inheritance Tax Rate to 0%

  • Decrease the 28% Capital Gains Tax to 0%

  • Reduce Stamp Duty to nil

Our three-stage approach to professional landlord planning explained:


Partnership (for at least 1 year)

If the properties are not held jointly with someone else, a partnership must be formed and formalised. It is recommended to run the partnership for a year when transferring assets from a partnership to a limited company without triggering a charge to Stamp Duty. This process is opposed to forming and liquidating within a few weeks, which is an approach adopted by a number of advisers, before incorporating.

Incorporation

Trust

Furthermore, mortgage interest relief can be claimed against Corporation Tax. The process takes three years.
